Job overview

The Convent of Jesus and Mary is a thriving and successful girls’ school in North West London.  Located in the borough of Brent, the school is home to a multi-cultural international community with girls from all over the world educated in a beautiful historic convent building and other modern classroom blocks all set in attractive grounds and gardens.

The Convent is dedicated to providing a rich and diverse curriculum where the creative arts are valued as highly as academic subjects.  The Arts are expanding in the school with a new dance studio and drama room added this year and key developments in the art and design curriculum planned for September 2019, with the addition of Fashion textiles and Photography as new GCSE courses.

This is an exciting time to join the Convent.  A happy and hardworking staff are bonded together in our mission as a Catholic School to live and work by the values of our Foundress, St Claudine Thevenet.  Staff do not have to be Catholic.

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic creative and enthusiastic Head of Art & Design who will lead a team of staff and technicians to develop a flagship provision of the Arts through to A level. 

Visits to the school are welcomed. Please email Julie Lewis or telephone the school on 020 8965 2986. 

Details and  application forms can be found on our school website: www.cjmlc.co.uk in the Vacancies section. Applications should be emailed to Mrs Julie Lewis, PA to the Headmistress JLewis@cjmlc.co.uk.

About Saint Claudine's Catholic School for Girls

This truly remarkable school has been providing the highest quality of holistic education to girls for over a century. Its long history of Catholic tradition and founding on the values of St Claudine Thevenet ensure that every child is seen as special, unique and a gift from God. St Claudine’s life work was to care for, nurture and educate children. She established the Religious of Jesus and Mary houses and schools which has led to the current education of children in 28 different countries. Here in England there are just three Convent of Jesus and Mary schools; an independent college in Thornton and an infant and secondary girls’ school here, in Willesden.

St Claudine’s Catholic School for Girls provides places to more than 1,000 girls aged 11-18 and has its own sixth form.

Values and vision

Prayer is an essential part of the life of our school.  We pray together at the beginning and end of the day, in form times and assemblies, at the start of lessons and before exams. Everyone in our school community is invited to participate in our prayer and liturgy insofar as they are able. Students lead music, read scripture and prayers in assemblies and at Mass. We have a special affection for St. Claudine who founded the Religious of Jesus and Mary, and often ask her to pray for us using our school prayer.

Ofsted report
